Happy Texas Independence Day

On this day in 1836 Texas declared its independence from Mexico. On May 14th, 1836 the Velasco treaty was signed and Mexico officially recognized Texas as an independent republic. Mexican troops began their withdrawl on May 20, 1836. That’s a little history lesson for y’all this morning. Also, it’s my buddy Joel’s birthday today, so happy birthday to Joel…even if he is an Aggie.

In The News:

Dems cannot decide who to support.

Kim Jong IL offers Saddam a place to stay.

And the Human Shields are fleeing Iraq citing safety concerns. Don’t even get me started on how bloody insane these people are.
